Wen Hao muttered, "Thousands of lives..."
The military strategist smiled, bowed to Wen Hao, and said, "Sir, you have a benevolent heart. But you are overthinking it. For example, when you kill enemies on the battlefield, killing over ten thousand, perhaps? Yet by killing ten thousand enemies, we ensure the safety of several prefectures in Nanxia. This calculation is straightforward! Now, if the villagers of Wangshan Town were enemies from foreign countries, would you hesitate to take action?"
"Of course not!"
The military strategist laughed and said, "Sir, you are safeguarding the entire Northern County. Compared to the lives of hundreds of thousands in the Northern County, a mere few thousand lives are insignificant. Lord Yu's action is to minimize harm! Sir, don't think too much about it!"
Wen Hao nodded and said, "What you say makes sense; indeed, I was thinking too narrowly!"
